Happy New Year!!! This year's resolution is to figure out what amps James Jamerson used. I know he had at least two Ampeg B15s and a Kustom 200. They say it is blue but I've only seen black & white pictures of it. On page 86 of the book "Standing in the Shadows of Motown" there's a photo of the amp- 4 knobs on the left and 8 knobs on the right. I dont think it says )))200((( but it looks like something under the pilot light...By Ross Ink...? Also the Kustom logo is a little bit lower, centering it right between the rows of knobs. So a K200A-3 ? Jamerson had an amp with harmonic clipping? Now why would he do that? Also in the same book on page 43 it looks like he's using a black 2x15 Frankie. Hmmm... Anyone know for sure? Happy New Year Riverboat Keith.
